Over 200 students paid to watch a very competitive game, played in an excellent atmosphere. The staff team from the outset forced the pace and with Dominic Clarke and Nick Gamble very solid at the back they took the game to the students at every opportunity. Midway through the first half a great through ball from Ryan Coyle split the student defence and Fintan Kelly made no mistake from close range.

The teams turned around with the staff still a goal up and despite the promptings of Alan Cummings, James Gordon and Jude Hughes the staff continued to dominate. It was no surprise when William McCreedy added to the lead with a wonderful curling effort from well outside the box.

Two goals up and with only 15 minutes to go the staff made the fatal mistake of taking their foot of the pedal and the students quickly responded with a great strike from Alan Cummings. A lack of fitness was beginning to show among the staff and with 5 minutes remaining a terrible goal keeping error by Colin Holmes allowed Carlos Stinson to score the equalising goal. In the dying minutes Colin Holmes redeemed himself with a wonderful save from Alan Cummings.

The game finished with the scores level and everyone agreed that it had been an excellent encounter.

Speaking after the match Mr Andrew Sleeth, Principal, described the match as 'A fun-filled, action packed game to raise funds for a very worthy cause. Well done to everyone who participated and thank you to Alan and Luke.';

A tremendous total of £563.60 was presented at the college assembly to Brian McCluskey, Area Appeals Co-ordinator from the Northern Ireland Chest, Heart and Stroke Association. 'You have raised a tremendous amount of money and done so in a way that everyone in the college was able to enjoy. Thank you all for your support.' added Mr McCluskey.
